Looking after your eyes

Your eyes are very important to you. You should look after them.

1) Have an eye test every two years. Children and old people should have a test every year.

2) Always read and work in good light. Don’t read when it’s too dark or too bright.

3) Rest your eyes every 15 minutes. Look away from your book or computer screen and look at something in the distance.

4) Protect your eyes. If you’re working with chemicals or tools, wear safety goggles. This is very important if you are working above your head, when something can fall into your eye.

5) Wear sunglasses and a hat in bright sunlight.

6) Never look directly at the sun. It can damage your eyes.
